Nah, they just pop off in a random direction because they're pressurized or whathaveyou. They sure do look creepy though!

Someone should make a game with door locks that skitter away then.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Imagine a game with doors held shut by giant spiders that walk off if you feed them the right color of bug. The newest in CJacobs-proofing technology!

Nioh has that. In the level titled Spider Castle (guess what it's about), there are doors that are locked by special Yokai mini-bosses that are bigass outhouse-sized spiders. If you defeat all 8 of these spiders around the level (7? I don't remember how many there are, I was busy screaming) you get an achievement and a fancy pants tea set.

6 spiders guarding the kettle fragments, and collecting them also weakens the boss of the level (by removing the armor from her legs). Were you recording your screaming by any chance?

Spider tea. Huh. I didn't expect Nioh to do an Undertale crossover.

e: now I kind of want to see CJacobs do the Megalovania fight. In a single sitting. You know what you have to do.

No but JamieTheD and some other folks can testify that I was in fact mortified by the spiders, in case there isn't enough evidence of that out there already

Gooey.

Hey, I was sick for a while but I'm mostly better now! Thank you for your continued viewership and for hangin' in there while I recovered. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Oh, right! This was the other Norse inspired 3rd person action game that I was watching to cleanse the palate after the latest round of Too Human. Thanks CJacobs! You're a scholar, a gentleman, and a pal.

I feel like I need a glossary for this game. It doesn't help that the game talks about all these fantasy peoples without any characters to represent them.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Feels like sliding back into an old pair of comfy cyber-slippers.

It's kinda got what I call "The Dark Souls 2 problem" where it mentions all these things you never see or hear about elsewhere, only one or two times apiece, just to add more depth to the world without any actual substance. However, in the back half of the game all these names and concepts are gonna start congealing into stuff relevant to us so it won't be an issue much longer!

We'll start,
like many good things,
with a bear.

It's kind of amazing to compare this and Too Human, since they're both Cybernorse games. This game has an actual intriguing story, and it's made with a lot of heart and not a lot of budget. I eventually gave up on my own playthrough because things get weighted too heavily towards super-heavy armored guys who can only be killed with sniper rifles to the head or shots to the back and it got annoying (especially as I'd chosen strength and shotguns for that PC), but for all the game's issues it really tries and it does have a pretty unique style to it. I certainly don't regret buying it or playing it, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it ends, too. The mechanics are janky but there are at least a bunch of interesting ideas for trying to do 'souls but guns'.

Meanwhile Too Human is just bland trash full of people making such staggeringly bad decisions that I have no idea how the same company made Eternal Darkness, one of the best games ever.

Also welcome back!

Welcome back, I'm glad you are feeling better!

I'm wondering, are the armour shrines the only way to get armour? And do we ever actually get a full suit, or are we just reliant on our sweet pecs and delts being so incredibly ripped that bullets ricochet off them?

This game is starting to drop so many proper nouns it could be mistaken for a JRPG

Honestly at this point I may as well make it clear that the norse influence is more than just an influence. The game may as well be a direct parallel in many respects. It'll be fun to watch you folks slot people we've heard of into their proper spots as they become more relevant in the lore and story!

I think I did the later half of the forest (and that one area connecting to it) before this. I tried this boss twice, then just ran past it to the obelisk and spawned in from there to fight it. My strategy was to just ignore the adds and try to kill the boss as fast as possible.

Then I beat the Cauldrons and decided this game isn't fun anymore and stopped playing. That area is really hateful.

Having a good grenade launcher and doing artillery volleys from other platforms really helps there. Until the traps kick in, at least.

As someone who doesn't know much anything but the broadest strokes of Norse mythology, can someone just plain ol' spoonfeed me the links between characters in Norse myth and Immortal? All I can figure out is Hel = the Queen, the Nine Worlds = The Nine Realms, and apart from that nothing :shobon:

Also, good to see you feeling better, CJacobs!
